The question of how Tesla calculates its range was one of the most curious and secrets in the electric vehicle industry. The range of electric vehicles involves a complex calculation process that is affected by many factors such as the energy storage technology used, the vehicle’s weight, aerodynamic properties and driving conditions. Now, Tesla explained the factors based on which the range of the models is calculated.
Many factors come into play when calculating the range of Tesla vehicles.
According to the news in futureflow.life, Tesla offers a different value for the range of the vehicle than expected, usually based on the vehicle’s range determined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Over the last few years Tesla has invested more in calculating accurate range. The company added factors such as “crosswind, headwind, humidity and environmental temperature” with a software update last year. A few months later, he added calculating tire pressure.
Now, in its new post on the X platform, Tesla has listed exactly all the factors used to estimate the range of a particular vehicle on a particular trip.
These include wind speed and direction, elevation/slope, traffic speed, average acceleration/deceleration, ambient temperature, humidity and pressure, solar load, and cloud cover. In addition, there are initial battery percentage and temperature, gross total vehicle weight, rolling resistance, aerodynamic resistance coefficient, air conditioning system consumption, specific energy consumption of the vehicle (bicycle carrier or similar) and battery preheating factors.
